SFTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Directory Constraints

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how SFTP synchronize a directory tree in the download direction, but only entering directories matching a set of wildcard filenames.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSftp
LOCAL lcRemoteDir
LOCAL lcLocalDir
LOCAL lnMode
LOCAL lnRecursive

lnSuccess = 0

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com",22)
IF (lnSuccess = 1) THEN
    lnSuccess = loSftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
ENDIF

IF (lnSuccess = 1) THEN
    lnSuccess = loSftp.InitializeSftp()
ENDIF

IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL

*  Possible synchronization modes are:
*  mode=0: Download all files
*  mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
*  mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
*  mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
*  mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
*  mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.

*  Only enter remote directories named either "data" or matching "x*"
loSftp.SyncMustMatchDir = "data; x*"

*  Imagine our remote directory tree has these files and directories:

*  	accentedLatin1.txt
*  	accentedUtf8.txt
*  	alice.key
*  	anter_cert.pem
*  	chiliPepper.gif
*  	helloWorld.pdf
*  	abc/chiliPepper.gif
*  	abc/ghk/
*  	data/chiliPepper.gif
*  	data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
*  	data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
*  	data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
*  	text/frenchUtf8.txt
*  	text/helloWorld.txt
*  	text/PolishEmailBody.txt
*  	text/something/

lcRemoteDir = "syncDownloadTest/someDir"
lcLocalDir = "qa_output"
lnMode = 0
lnRecursive = 1
lnSuccess = loSftp.SyncTreeDownload(lcRemoteDir,lcLocalDir,lnMode,lnRecursive)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  The following files were downloaded:

*  accentedLatin1.txt
*  accentedUtf8.txt
*  alice.key
*  anter_cert.pem
*  chiliPepper.gif
*  helloWorld.pdf
*  data/chiliPepper.gif
*  data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
*  data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
*  data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml

? "Success."
